Shannon Bennett Is Launching A New Seafood Bistro Next Week

By Greta Waters3rd Nov 2017

It's here, guys. The latest dining house to join Shannon Bennett's delicious restaurant family is set to open next Wednesday. We love a seafood spread as much as the next fun-loving Aussie, and knowing the Vue Group we can expect some outrageously delicious and unique dishes.

The crux of this restaurant is simple – native ingredients, seasonality and locality. If it swims, crawls or blobs around in the ocean, it's fair game.

Similar to its older brother Vue de Monde, Iki-Jime will be using some serious high-tech technology to bring the flavours of our favourite sea treasures to Normanby Chambers (and eventually, your plate).

The menu champions high-quality seafood dishes, designed to share. The elegant dining room offers an intimate dining experience – perfect for a celebrating large group or a duo of bar snacking, nightcap-digging locals.

“The addition of a Josper charcoal oven will be the main engine for cooking and, just like Vue de Monde, a sense of place is important," Bennett says. "Native ingredients, seasonality and locally-sourced produce will drive the components paired with each dish. The menu is designed for sharing; allowing our guests to interact and embrace the true meaning of dining - to have fun.”

If you're a fan of the (now defunct) Bistro Vue, you'll like this. Mostly because it's taken over the old space. Iki-Jime promises Australia’s finest seafood...with a Bennett twist. We’re already calling it a Melbourne institution.
